ADHA - Real or just an excuse?

[Elanthil01]

So are we psychologists now or something? Just because some dumbfuck on the internet thinks ADHD doesn't exist doesn't mean that's true.

Quoted for truth.

You people are not psychologists. I should know, I fucking study it. Ironically, it's the same problem that cause it to be overdiagnosed, because people think 'oh, Psychology, that's just common sense, right? I mean, we're all experts in Psychology'. People know a lot less about Psychology than they think they do.

It is most definitely real. Scroll down to 313.0x - ADHD is right there. [http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevisions/Pages/InfancyChildhoodAdolescence.aspx] Here's it in detail. [http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevisions/Pages/proposedrevision.aspx?rid=383]

I have 3 years of college level studies in psychology, sociology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, abnormal psychology, child psychology and organic chemistry, thank you very much. I also have a great relationship with my therapist, my psychologist, my psychiatrist, and my professor who is also head of the psychology department at my university. I may not know everything, but I think I have enough grounding and access to resources to make a fairly accurate statement regarding disorders that I SUFFER FROM MYSELF.

Thank you for playing, have a mudkipz!

What the hell are you getting at me for? I'm agreeing with you; ADHD exists, quite obviously.

Most people know less about Psychology than they think they do. Most people. You are not one of those people.

Sorry, I think I hit the quote button to the wrong post...I was distracted..sorry.

The reply was intended to the broad category of people claiming it doesnt exist, not aimed at you.

Again, sorry.

I can't even express how much I hate ignorant fucks like you. Please consider fellating a shotgun, both of you.

You sir, are all class.

And the point of being polite to scum-sucking know-nothing shit-for-brains like you is?...

It is good to know that you cannot address your opinion without peppering it with ungentlemy language.

That post makes you sound like a condescending arsehole.

Even i can tell from his language that he probably has had enough of pricks like you that think if you cant see it, it doesnt exist, or if you cannot understand it, that it is not real.

There are plenty of mental disorders that are nigh-on-impossible to see, diagnose or understand, so kindly shut the fuck up and go back to your life.

That was the point.

First that is no excuse to use such foul vulgarity I did not say it was not real I said that it was over diagnosed. But good job at not looking at my post.

There are plenty of mental disorders that are nigh-on-impossible to see, diagnose or understand, so kindly shut the fuck up and go back to your life.

So it is impossible to
1. see the symptoms
2. Diagnose it or understand it
Why would I assume the disorder is real? All the factors of proving a disorders a disorder exist are not there. So why would I think it exists?
3. no u

Imagine a box, inside it I have placed an object.
You can measure the box, you can see a brief shadow of what is in the box and you can observe me holding the box and the effects it has on me. However it is impossible for you to fully understand what is in there as you haven't the faintest idea how to open the box, or even if it can ever be opened. However, the box is real, as is what is inside of it.

^^ There is psychology and the human understanding of the brain in a nutshell for you

You see my point? Even to say it is over-diagnosed is a very idiotic statement as humanity still has no idea exactly how the brain functions in certain situations, for all we know it could be the normal state of the brain and we all have it, just to massively different degrees.
Add into that fact that this is a discussion of an internet message board and it is very fucking stupid to assume that an answer will appear here.

In reference to the vulgarity of the language in his and my post's, its quite obvious that in a text only form, emotions are a lot harder to display, and one of the many effective ways to portray them is with that sort of language.

And now to balance out that wall of text, holy shitting dicknipples batman!?!?!

i think it does exist but i doubt even half the people who claim they have it actually do.

alot of the time it does just seem its a annoying idiot that is acting out and is given this label as an excuse.

I belive that ADD does exist, but it is far to over diagnosed. I have ADD dyslexia and dysgraphia, and I can function pretty well (all diagnosed by a psycologist, Im a hypocondract). However an IQ of 152 does help with dealing with it, I can figure out how trick my self into working (yes I have to plot againest my own brain) to beproductive. Another thing that helps is being older, you tone down and can work around things. It also helps to study some thing that you really like. Mind you I wants hyperactive or anything, I didhowever tend to blank out in class alot when I was younger.

However in the end its best to see how the kid is when hes older and if they are typically a kind person. If you tend to blank out alot and do things that arnt really destructive or desrubtive (foot taping and hummings songs and the like excluded) then you most likely have
ADHD. However if they destructive (without having other real behavior disorders like autisim) then theyre most like jsut a littel pain in the ass shit that needs to we whacked up side the head a few times.

Haviong ADHD is no excuase for dumping a whole box of cereal into a tank that is 4 feet of the ground, at that point the little fucker is ploting.
